Ok in the hopes to see more realistic doubles and outfield play
I am at:
Couple notes:
Do NOT throw meat or you will get hammered. At least I do. That is the reason I upped the USER pitch control and consistancy. If you use the power swing I'd suggest to up the CPU's also and lower USER timing another notch.

With these your slower Outfielders will be a risk

I had it a touch slower and just didn't like how it looked. With these however I had ... Read More
